Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A method comprising: receiving, by a wearable apparatus comprising a bioacoustic sensor and a processor, a bioacoustic signal via the bioacoustic sensor, the bioacoustic signal related to a particular hand gesture, the particular hand gesture associated with a particular command, the particular command associated with activation of a particular function performed by an electronic device, wherein the bioacoustic signal is conducted by way of at least one bone to the wearable apparatus; identifying, by the wearable apparatus, the particular hand gesture related to the bioacoustic signal based on a positive correlation between the bioacoustic signal and predetermined hand gesture data; selecting, by the wearable apparatus, the particular command associated with the particular hand gesture related to the bioacoustic signal; and wirelessly transmitting, by the wearable apparatus, the particular command associated with the particular hand gesture to the electronic device to activate performance of the particular function by the electronic device.

2

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising encrypting, by the wearable apparatus, the particular command associated with the particular hand gesture prior to wirelessly transmitting the particular command to the electronic device.

3

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising providing feedback associated with the particular hand gesture.

4

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one bone comprises at least one bone of a hand.

5

5. A wearable apparatus comprising: a bioacoustic sensor; a processor; and a memory that stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising receiving, via the bioacoustic sensor, a bioacoustic signal, the bioacoustic signal related to a particular hand gesture, the particular hand gesture associated with a particular command, the particular command associated with activation of a particular function performed by an electronic device, wherein the bioacoustic signal is conducted by way of at least one bone to the wearable apparatus, identifying the particular hand gesture related to the bioacoustic signal based on a positive correlation between the bioacoustic signal and predetermined hand gesture data, selecting the particular command associated with the particular hand gesture related to the bioacoustic signal, and wirelessly transmitting the particular command associated with the particular hand gesture to the electronic device to activate performance of the particular function by the electronic device.

6

6. The wearable apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the operations further comprise encrypting the particular command associated with the particular hand gesture prior to wirelessly transmitting the particular command to the electronic device.

7

7. The wearable apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the operations further comprise providing feedback associated with the particular hand gesture.

8

8. The wearable apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the at least one bone comprises at least one bone of a hand.

9

9. A non-transitory storage component that stores instructions that, when executed by a processor of a wearable apparatus comprising a bioacoustic sensor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising: receiving, via the bioacoustic sensor, a bioacoustic signal, the bioacoustic signal related to a particular hand gesture, the particular hand gesture associated with a particular command, the particular command associated with activation of a particular function performed by an electronic device, wherein the bioacoustic signal is conducted by way of at least one bone to the wearable apparatus; identifying the particular hand gesture related to the bioacoustic signal based on a positive correlation between the bioacoustic signal and predetermined hand gesture data; selecting the particular command associated with the particular hand gesture related to the bioacoustic signal; and wirelessly transmitting the particular command associated with the particular hand gesture to the electronic device to activate performance of the particular function by the electronic device.

10

10. The non-transitory storage component of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise encrypting the particular command associated with the particular hand gesture prior to wirelessly transmitting the particular command to the electronic device.

11

11. The non-transitory storage component of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise providing feedback associated with the particular hand gesture.

12

12. The non-transitory storage component of claim 9 , wherein the at least one bone comprises at least one bone of a hand.
